The incident was much larger in scale than I had roughly remembered. It was a criminal act that crossed the line, too severe to just create a brief buzz and fade away.

The scope of the investigation expanded day by day, and new developments poured out daily.

In the police investigation stage, where everyone thought only Seo Yunseop would be caught, it was revealed that the majority of Allover members had used drugs together.

News also spread quickly that, under the pretext of helping with creative activities like composition, they had suggested drugs to junior or peer groups who couldn’t easily refuse the offer or report it to the outside.

Due to the massive incident, schedules related to ‘Idol Annals of the Dynasty’ came to a complete halt. It was particularly chaotic because overseas voting had opened this season. A fierce clash erupted between ‘overseas fans voting for Parte unaware of the situation’ and ‘domestic public opinion questioning whether it was right to let a team suspected of drug crimes participate, given their close friendship and frequent meetings with the culprits since Season 1.’

Spark was able to escape the fierce atmosphere. This was thanks to the fact that no traces of us were found in Allover’s group chats or personal messages. The managers swept their chests in relief at our statement that we hadn’t even exchanged numbers.

After the storm passed, the Allover situation concluded like this:

[Exclusive] Allover brokered drug sales not only to members but also to colleagues\

(Seoul=Today Star) Boy group Allover, belonging to Clear Entertainment, has fallen into becoming an unprecedented ‘drug group’ in the history of the entertainment industry.

It has been revealed that the majority of the group is involved in drug crimes, with four members including Seo Yunseop (24) suspected of habitual drug use, and one member suspected of aiding and abetting drug use.

Seo Yunseop, who encouraged the drug use, was revealed to have recommended drugs to colleagues and acted as a middleman for distribution. Transactions were conducted only in cash, and drugs were distributed during overseas year-end stages or overseas tours.

As a member of a group that appeared as a guest at their overseas concert also tested positive, all groups related to Allover have become subjects of investigation.

Kyung Wooin (20), suspected of aiding and abetting drug use, is known to have been silenced by the members. Experts explain that the fact the group’s eldest member and leader continued to threaten him after the drug use was discovered may affect sentencing.

The viewer board for ‘Idol Annals of the Dynasty,’ where half of the previous cast was summoned to the police station, was in chaos.

Posts with titles like ‘Doesn’t the program check the basic ethics of the cast?’ and ‘Kick Parte out of the show’ poured in real-time. The show tried to gloss over it with a notice saying they were verifying the facts, but they were thoroughly thrashed for it.

“Did the Idol Annals of the Dynasty side not call UA?”

“They did. We told them Spark isn’t involved.”

“Did they believe you? Half of Season 1 is under investigation...”

“The production team saw the atmosphere on set. Above all, we weren’t summoned by the police.”

Suspicion kept bubbling up that those MYTH bastards had spread Choi Jeho’s dating rumor to neutralize public opinion. Companies usually got a rough idea of the news before articles went out.

It made sense if they wanted to make Spark a noisy group too, to disperse the attention focusing on Parte.

‘But attacking someone’s family for that? Bastards.’

I couldn’t say anything since there was no solid proof. I was boiling inside. I didn’t show it, as Choi Jeho was probably angrier than I was.

Although it wasn’t the direction MYTH wanted, Spark did end up in the center of the commotion.

≫ In the Idol Drug Chronicle

Are Terkit, Blider, and Spark really clean?

└ Honestly, it feels off. Would they really not have known?

└ Even within the same group, some members didn’t know... If they’re not on the suspect list, doesn’t that mean they’re innocent?

└ I really hope there’s no one in Blider and Spark. There were so many minors in their groups last year ㅠㅠㅠ

≫ They just haven’t been caught yet, probably not innocent.

Now stories like ‘I smoked it without knowing what it was’ will come outㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└ ‘Without knowing’ is an invincible shield. Everybody uses that excuse.

└ Trying to pass it {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} off as thinking it was a cigarette. You’re singers—why are you bragging about smoking?

└└ Absolutely not trying to defend them, but smoking and drugs are vastly different...... ㅋ큐ㅠㅠ

└ Entertainers seem to come back fine even after doing drugsㅋㅋㅋ

└└ No, idols are done the moment drugs are involved.

└ The next season of Idol Annals of the Dynasty will be held in prison.

At first, the tone was mainly questioning if kids who even went to the training camp together could be spotless...

≫ Our household octopus did it again

(Photo)

......My image, where my social skills died completely only in front of Allover, surfaced.

≫ The controversy detection dog re-examined at this moment

I think everyone guessed who it is without me saying, but it’s Spark Iwol

He got cursed out so much for acting cold to Allover in Idol Annals of the Dynasty, people said his personality sucked (Caught on camera just greeting and not saying a word while sitting next to Seo Y.S + During camp, looked at Allover’s side then sat members on the opposite side of the table, got criticized like hell by Allover fandom).

Now, because he never got involved with anyone, he survived the Allover scandal

└ I rewatched Season 1 as soon as Allover exploded, and seriously, he didn’t speak at all unless it was a greeting

└ On the same show, on a survival show, no less, and that’s possible?

└ He reacts normally to stages but doesn’t mention them at all during interviews or rankings.

└ Then wouldn’t he get cursed a lot for his attitude......?

└ Not just cursed a lot, they could have plastered his agency building with hate posts. If people around him didn’t cover for him, wouldn’t he have been suspended?

└ But it seems karma exists...... not a single celebrity is siding with Allover.

└ Well, an attitude controversy and a drug controversy are on different levels.

└ The replay is taken down...... guess we can’t watch anymore ㅠㅠ

≫ I think Cheonghyeon surviving is a miracle

Verion and Sticky, who don’t have composing members, had no excuse to be approached, but

Seeing that Drug-seop was recruiting both Parte and Log, there’s a high possibility Cheonghyeon was also a sales target

└ Cheonghyeon is still a minor, would he have done that......? I feel so sick right now

└ Seeing how they silenced their own team’s maknae, seems like there was nothing they wouldn’t do

└ It’s not completely baseless. Didn’t Allover say on Polo’s radio they wanted to get close to Spark?

└└ Is the comment above true......?

└└└ I remember they openly pointed out Cheonghyeon and Iwol brushed it off saying he has no friends

└└└└ Wow, goosebumps.

≫ Doesn’t Kim Iwol seriously know something?

Only Verion, whom Kim Iwol didn’t wall off, survived. Sticky didn’t get caught for drugs, but they’ve got fan drama among themselves

If he knew, he would have been called in for aiding and abetting

If he didn’t know, I acknowledge him as a real psychic octopus

└ Reasonable suspicion.

└ Sticky’s issues are more about the parasocial relationships, not really scandals, right?

└ That’s fine and all, but please don’t lock him into the ‘octopus’ image too hard... a lot of Sparklers don’t like that nickname ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

└ Huh, why?

└└ I mean, other idols get compared to cats and puppies, but if mine gets called ‘idol octopus’ or ‘barnacle’, I’d be a little sad... even if it’s funny.

└└└ I never said ‘idol octopus’, okay;;;;

Spark’s actions, treating Allover like rocks, and my role in supposedly directing them became widely known.

In sports communities, my worshippers returned like clockwork. Short content creators also raced to attach captions like ‘This idol really sees the future’ under my photo.

People half-joked, half-marveled at my fortune-telling octopus image.

But Spark couldn’t laugh it off. The guys who received direct instructions from me to keep a distance from the Parte-Allover line couldn’t see the ‘Kim Iwol with spiritual abilities’ flow as a joke.

Especially Lee Cheonghyeon, who almost became a target, hardly left my side.

“Hyung.”

“Huh?”

“Sorry for daring to question you when you told us to avoid the sunbaenims.”

“What?”

“I won’t question your instructions ever again.”

I told him he didn’t need to and showered him with praise, but it didn’t help much. He was clearly shaken. Not that I didn’t understand that feeling, so we decided the members would take turns taking good care of him for the time being.

Spark wasn’t the only one flustered by the series of events.

Unexpectedly, cracks occurred within Parte’s fandom.

≫ Reading those messages for real... I’m losing all affection

So what if they didn’t do drugs, the words they said among themselves are like that.

You haven’t even made your own rap since debut, but what’s so hard that you whine about ‘the pain of creation’ and whatnot?

└ Should I be happy that you accidentally turned down a drug-buying offer because you bought a watch and had no money? or feel empty watching you accept fan gifts and blow all your cash on luxury brands?

└ You hate when people say this on public accounts? You always guilt-trip us, saying you see all the trending topics. This is me holding back because it’s public. That’s why more and more Naos are making private accounts to say what they really think. You should’ve treated fans better when they were still covering for you.

└ This is exactly how I feel... I’m so disappointed, wondering if the idol I loved was really just like this.

≫ Guysㅋㅋ You didn’t rise because of your skills

Seeing Naos always bashing the agency, you must have thought you were really ill-fated idols who met the wrong agency, but that’s just your delusion

Fans might’ve been pushovers for overlooking your sour attitudes because ‘no idol is perfect’, but you should never have said you lacked motivation to write songs for the idiots who’d praise anything you released

Naos didn’t say your songs were good because they were good, they said they were good because they liked you

Just find any Metuber right now and watch Parte song reactions from early debut videos. Every time, they only say ‘it’s worse than before’ or ‘disappointing’

└ I’m crying

└ They say fans who leave are the scariest, are you watching, guys?

└ Sorry but at the point of writing this kind of post, I don’t feel like you’re a Naos...... If you’re a true fan, shouldn’t you support fully when the kids are having a hard time? How does blindly criticizing help the kids?

└└ [OP] Uh, I am not a fan anymore. Unstanning. Bye.

≫ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋBusy bashing other teams for being rude

Turns out my bias was 3 seconds away from opening a syringe

└ Just reading the text makes my heart drop. F***

└ Brutal

Former Naos unlocked their accounts and started exposing everything they’d bottled up. Naturally, SNS and entertainment forums went wild.

During this venting spree, the group mentioned the most was Spark.

Initially, there were many posts cursing Allover for luring innocent Parte, but as some Parte members’ so-called ‘fan-hating’ tendency was mentioned, the atmosphere changed to ‘Aren’t you ashamed to face your juniors?’

≫ Why on earth did Song Minil snipe SPK??

Because they didn’t.... greet him? ㅋ 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Verion or other groups who appeared on Idol Athletics never said anything like that

└ ??? Sniped??

└ He said on Bubble that they ignored him and didn’t greet him.

└ (Photo)

└ Did people just let this slide back then...? He was basically asking fans to go attack them.

└ Back then, the fandom atmosphere was ‘A junior ignored a senior......?’ so it overheated... KKY had to come out and explain they weren’t like that, and they still got beaten up for ‘power plays’

As the comment said, a fan who turned their back was scary. How much energy must it take for love to turn into hate? How long must that love have built up?

≫ Let’s be honest

Your pride was hurt for being compared to Spark

They don’t even look at you, but you guys were on their ass, copied their stages and concepts, and fans covered for you

I’m tired. The time I spent liking you feels embarrassing

Moving past old stories, some Naos reached the point of admitting to the plagiarism in ‘Idol Annals of the Dynasty’.
